Modern days have come with their own challenges which human populace is coming up with ways of overcoming them. The rise in human population and environmental degradation has posed challenges in terms of health and medical care. The disease causative agents are mutating day after the other as well as becoming resistant to drugs that have been used over long time. Over the past few years, health issues have become of concern following the event of diseases that are spreading at alarming rates. A good example is Ebola, H1N1, HIV to mention but just a few. With these complications and an elevated population, more healthcare services have mushroomed at a higher rate where some have taken it as a good field of investing. Despite their increase, most hospitals have not managed to provide services efficiently and effectively to their clients. This paper therefore seeks to look into what constitutes to be ranked as the best hospital and in particular to be the top 100.
Quality services are very essential to clients since they are consumers of the services provided. Most hospitals that have been ranked top 100 have good and quality services that at the end of the day satisfy the customer expectation. These hospitals have managed to maintain as well as offer services by recruiting professionals in this field ( top 100). These professionals are conversant with their work and have exhibited competence in their area of expertise. Rather than monetary gains, the hospitals embraces element of customer satisfaction and constant follow-up to the conditions and recovery of patients they treat. One of such health facility that has for many years remained at the bream of excellence is st. Josephs hospital (st Josephs).
To achieve this recognition, they have been in the market for many (more than 110 years) years which means they have had opportunity to improve their services with time. This in turn has made them to expand their services with aim of getting most of health related services under one roof. They have different departments that are well established to serve clients with divergent needs. Having big bed capacity is also a score on their side. They can accommodate and admit many patients at the same time. With the current economic hardship, most people do not usually afford getting healthcare services from the good hospitals due to the high charges associated with these hospitals (hospital u.d.).
To beat this odd, st. Josephs hospital is a non profit making organization which for all those years has always worked towards serving poor and the underserved. This translates to big number of patients, with various complications. Respondents have acknowledged the qualified staff as well as their commitment. This can be attributed to better working condition of staff that has been provided by the management. It is noted that motivated workers tends to give better results and committed to their work as opposed to demoralized workers. This hospital has kept abreast with technology by using machines that are up-to date and effective in their operations. This has translated to successful operations and recovery of the patient undergoing the same (ibid).

In a nut shell, st. Josephs hospital has toiled for its ranking by providing quality services to patients and more so having various departments that specialize in different areas. It is therefore important for other health practitioners to borrow from this hospital so that the world population can receive the best services.
